EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
Jan '01 - present
|
While I was at LSC I set up Silver Hammer Publications and developed the Everyday English books for short summer courses in the UK, and Quizword, a fun way to practise the most common words in English. I also designed a set of classroom posters focusing on learner training and pronunciation and wrote a guide for TEFL teachers. During that time I also designed and launched 3 websites: one on TEFL jobs & advice, one on free English language learning resources and one on daily trivia.
